Max Hamburgers, Sweden and Norway

If you wanted to visit a Swedish restaurant chain dedicated to burgers in 1968, you had to go to Max Hamburgers. Curt Bergfors and Britta Andersson opened their first restaurant in Gâllivare, in the northern part of Sweden, that year. The soaring popularity led to more restaurants. Today the company is still family-owned. Max Hamburgers is quite a success story in Sweden, where it's the most profitable restaurant chain, outperforming even McDonald's and Burger King. A franchised location in Norway opened in May 2011.
